Better commercial organisations than the flat tax based on coercion that you praise as a funding model, every day of the week. On what grounds is that even remotely justifiable? Quote Ask yourself why Tories despise the BBC so much that they wish to neuter and attack it in this way? Couldn't give a f**k about this irrelevant argument. There are plenty of free societies in the world that do not have an equivalent of the BBC and its utterly ridiculous tax or prosecution funding model. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Genuine at the BBC for setting fire to their flagship sports programme to appease fragile fucking Tories who will continue hating them anyway. This is going to end hilariously badly for them. I strongly suspect this ends with a fairly humiliating resignation from that fud who loaned the Talking Haystack £800K.

AUcal Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) While its good to see more folks becoming aware, it really shouldn't come as a surprise that the BBC is just a Tory establishment play thing. They are definitely getting more brazen about it though. Pathetic shambles. Whole thing is symbolic of the just how much of a nasty little xenophobic backwater the UK really is. f**k the Tories Edited March 10, 2023 by AuAl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 This is quite the misstep from the BBC. It just shows hope the institution has failed in recent years. So much hypocrisy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipa Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 2 hours ago, Monkey Tennis said: The BBC is extremely good value, given what it offers. I'm very happy to pay for it. I've paid a lot more for wildly inferior TV offerings. If Disney has something I want to watch, choosing to pay £9/month is good value. If Amazon has something I want to watch, choosing to pay £9/month is good value. When the BBC has nothing I want to watch, but the law says I should pay £13/month regardless, that is not good value. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can watch both Disney+ and Amazon Prime without paying the licence fee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best examples, admittedly, ITV, C4, C5 would have been better examples, as you don't pay for them, but have to pay the BBC for the right to (legally) watch them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
